A deep dive into the stories, habits, ideas, strategies and methods that drive fulfilled people and create enormous success for them. The guests are diverse, but they share profound similarities. They’re guided by purpose, live with intense joy, learn passionately, and see the world with a unique lens. Each episode lets us soak in their hard-earned wisdom and apply it to our lives. Guests include Neil deGrasse Tyson, Seth Godin, and Tyler Cowen.
My guest today is Dave Nemetz, the Founder of Bleacher Report, which was one of my favorite media companies as a kid. During his time there, Dave oversaw video, business development, and business operations. He helped grow the audience to more than 40 million monthly unique visitors before selling the company to Turner Broadcasting in 2012. Today, he is the Founder of Inverse and the Executive Vice President of Bustle Digital Group where he leads growth and business strategy for Inverse, Input, and Mic.
The conversation topics in this episode fall into three buckets: personal principles, business principles, and the state of the world. We spoke about what it’s like to lead your company through a merger, why you can think of media businesses like a supply & demand equation, and one of Dave’s favorite quotes from Hunter S. Thompson: “When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.” My favorite part of the interview was hearing about a band called Phish, which Dave has seen in concert more than 200 times. That section kickstarted a whole conversation about the brand-building tradeoff between being welcoming to new fans and serving die-hard fans.
____________________________
Show Notes
2:31 – What inspired David to get started on the Bleacher Report and why he was drawn to it as a project.
6:24 – Why the desire for a different kind of sports coverage took so long to take off and why other companies didn’t get into it earlier.
9:06 – Why sites like Bleacher Report find their niche, even with an abundance of content being created all of the time.
12:46 – The implicit versus the explicit side of finding your niche and exploiting it in the market.
15:14 – What David has learned about building a brand and serving your customers from his favorite band, Phish.
20:12 – How businesses can both serve their die-hard fans and not neglect their newcomers.
27:05 – The arrival fallacy and why selling Bleacher Report to Turner wasn’t as exciting as it may have looked on the outside.
31:36 – Why David believes that a fervent drive and passion to achieve goals is a double-edged sword.
34:26 – What most people don’t know about managing a business during a buyout or a merger and why it was so difficult for David to handle.
42:54 – How the world of advertising in the early 2000s hadn’t seemed to change much from the era of “Mad Men”.
52:38 – Why the “the geeks won” and why David is super happy about it.
57:13 – How David has oriented his recruitment and retention strategy in his media brands.
1:05:43 – What the “career elevator” is and why David was determined to create it for himself.
1:10:29 – Some of David’s favorite quotes, and why one of his core philosophies is to “enjoy your sandwich”.

We are more connected now than ever before, but most of us still struggle with feelings of loneliness and isolation. Hope for the Lonely host Charlotte Donlon believes loneliness loses some of its power when we bring it into the light, so she writes and talks about different angles of loneliness and belonging and how they intersect with the Christian faith. The more curious she’s become about her loneliness, the less severe it seems. So, she welcomes you to inhabit a posture of curiosity as she explores various aspects of loneliness and belonging in the Hope for the Lonely podcast. Charlotte Donlon is a writer, a spiritual director for writers, and the founder and host of the Our Faith in Writing podcast and website. She also hosts A Writer’s Diary, a daily podcast about writing and the writing life. Charlotte’s writing and work are rooted in noticing how art helps us belong to ourselves, others, God, and the world. Her writing has appeared in The Washington Post, The Curator, The Christian Century, Christianity Today, Catapult, The Millions, Mockingbird, and elsewhere. Her first book is The Great Belonging: How Loneliness Leads Us to Each Other. You can subscribe to her newsletter at charlottedonlon.substack.com and connect with her on Twitter and Instagram at @charlottedonlon. You can learn more about Charlotte and her writing and work at charlottedonlon.com
In this episode, Charlotte reads an essay she wrote about how the church years helps her feel less alone.
As we engage more deeply with the ancient streams of art and faith, how they inform one another, and how all of this can create profound new possibilities for belonging, we need ways to respond.
Through her work as a spiritual director for writers, artists, and those all along the belief-and-unbelief spectrum, Charlotte Donlon explores how belonging intersects with the contemplative life.
This essay was originally published in Christianity Today in 2019. This audio essay is also going to be live on Charlotte’s Our Faith in Writing podcast.
